Testimonials

"I wish that I could articulate the tremendous impact Project Life has had, does have, in my life. Without going into great detail, I’ll just say that I’d been homeless at a young age, which stemmed from abuse, neglect, tragedy, and just overall maltreatment. Project Life rescued me from the streets and ultimately from myself.

I fit into nearly all the stereotypes…….young, Black, female, single parent, no parental guidance, high school dropout, and poor. These things I’d always been aware of but was never reminded of while living at Project Life. They really strived to get me to a better, more healthy place, mentally through counseling and other programs. I was able to focus on goals that would help me to become stable and independent without worrying about if I was going to eat that day. I was safe, finally, and looked after by people who showed a genuine interest in my well-being.

They gave me life, literally, one that without their help would’ve succumbed to negative influences, and maybe, not exist today. I’m forever thankful, grateful and I feel indebted. I’ll always do my best knowing where I’ve come from but also because Project Life gave me the opportunity & tools to keep going."

"Here is a chance for a brand new start
A Happy ending when you do your part
Your family gains a new beginning
It’s all there as long as you’re willing
A place your children will be happy, have fun
Be safe and have peace when each day is done"
